I recently learned that Margit has a "feint" that is actually a stance - that's why his wind up feels like it takes forever. I was interested to find out that Margit is one of the most technically fun and difficult fights to

I'm not convinced that the first point has necessarily affected the premium art space unless you're referring to the spill in effects. TFA talks about a space in Art Basel costing 100k - the target clientele for all intents and pu

Someone in the space told me that China were big buyers of art but suddenly they stopped. This could be because of capital controls, financial stress or increasing sense of national pride - take your pick

My first play through of Elden Ring was a pseudo challenge run - capped at 125RL (pvp meta) and dual UGS style. No ash of war usage. No guides for bosses. Malenia took me over a month, and probably over 500 deaths and I had to relax the ash

Genuine question that I'm trying to learn about - the industrialisation of Japan and South Korea led to huge wealth creation and increases in quality of living. I know some of that is stagnating now and especially in South Korea things

Right and a compiler is mostly technical.

IMO you touch on the real heart of the issue at the end - the real world and business is messy and really _is_ just a pile of if statements. When the problem itself is technical or can be generalised then abstractions can eliminate the need

I enjoy the opt-in experience for interactivity when using noscript. There's a few cases where it can be janky in particular payment flows but I've been noscript for almost 10 years so I am used to it and the workarounds don'

Ultimately Twitter is timely and has almost universal mindshare. A few weeks ago when there was the pacific earthquake, I had family who were very close to a danger zone vacationing. Google was not sufficient for finding good local timely i

China spans 9.6M km. It has some of the biggest and most modern megacities (Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenzhen to name a few) and features ancient historical wonders like the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Terracotta Warriors. The natur

For sure - what I find interesting is that passing out is a disqualification (I assume) so there is a fine line between achieving your utmost limit and being disqualified. Which is like most sports but my understanding is that it is quite e

Note this is oxygen assisted - the diver breathed pure oxygen and (from the article) can increase available oxygen from 450mL to 3L in doing so. Still impressive nonetheless and I didn't know that this trick is sometimes used in Hollyw

I like to see marvel as the state of the art/tech demo for CGI - this is what is achievable with near limitless budget I still find Infinity War and Endgame visually satisfying spectacles but I am a forgiving viewer for those movies

That's a Nolan thing like how Dunkirk used no green screen. I think Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings embody the transition from old school camera tricks to CGI as they leaned very heavily into set and prop design and as a result have

My understanding (which may have been in the previous HN discussion on the topic) is that Chinese people just substitute with a homophone if they're really stuck and native readers can guess by context what the writer meant. Much like

Whatsapp (and IIRC Wechat) were built in Erlang. I think Discord is also Elixir/Rust My take is that when the advantage to be gained is a superior architecture or set of abstractions that can be built by a small core of engineers then

This one is particularly janky!!!!! Watch anime on Netflix at home with English subs. Fly to japan. Open Netflix, now you cannot watch with English subs. The workaround is to pre emptively download the show, then put your device on airplane

I knew plenty of people in London who chose to walk 30+ mins. This is over other available options like ebike, bus, underground and taxi - simply because it is pleasant.

As in without a reference you were still correct for pitch from muscle memory? I think I saw on HN that they no longer think perfect pitch is something you're born with and is essentially based on what I think you are saying. You have
